God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #25 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Job 42:1-3 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform.
He plants his footsteps in the sea
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Topics: Church Year Lent; Church Year Maundy Thursday; Church Year Easter Vigil; Creation; Fear; God's Majesty; God's Providence; God Ways Of; Mercy; War and Revolution Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

en vano buscará.

Savior, When in Dust to You
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: Christian Worship #393 (2021) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Job 42:6 Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to you
low we bow in homage due,
when, repentant, to the skies
scarce we lift our weeping eyes,
O, by all your pains and woe
suffered once for us below,
bending from your throne on high,
hear our penitential cry!
2 By your helpless infant years,
by your life of want and tears,
by your days of deep distress
in the savage wilderness,
by the dread, mysterious hour
of th'insulting tempter's pow'r,
turn, O turn a fav'ring eye,
hear our penitential cry!
3 By your hour of dire despair,
by your agony of prayer,
by the cross, the nail, the thorn,
piercing spear, and torturing scorn,
by the gloom that veiled the skies
o'er the dreadful sacrifice,
listen to our humble sigh,
hear our penitential cry!
4 By your deep expiring groan,
by the sad sepulchral stone,
by the vault whose dark abode
held in vain the rising God,
O, from earth to heav'n restored,
mighty, re-ascended Lord,
bending from your throne on high,
hear our penitential cry!

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #397 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Job 42:6 Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, to thee I cry;
Thee only would I know:

And wash me white as snow.

Unless thou wash my soul from sin,
I have no part in thee.

Answer, if mine thou art;
Whisper within, thou love divine,
And cheer my drooping heart.

I Bow My Forehead to the Dust
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnbook #109 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Job 42:5-6 Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
No offering of mine own I have,
No works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
2 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar:
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
3 I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee.
Amen. Topics: Faith; God Love and Fatherhood; Humility; Penitence; Trust; God the Father His Love and Fatherhood Tune Title: PENTATONE

It is a thing most wonderful
Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Common Praise #109 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Job 42:3 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful,
almost too wonderful to be,
that God's own Son should come from heaven,
and die to save a child like me.
2 And yet I know that it is true:
he chose a poor and humble lot,
and wept and toiled and mourned and died
for love of those who loved him not.
3 I cannot tell how he could love
a child so weak and full of sin;
his love must be most wonderful,
if he could die my love to win.
4 I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns,
and Jesus crucified for me.
5 But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
of that great love which, like a fire,
is always burning in his heart.
6 It is most wonderful to know
his love for me so free and sure;
but 'tis more wonderful to see
my love for him so faint and poor.
7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
and I will love thee more and more,
until I see thee as thou art. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent IV Year B; Palm Sunday Year B; Proper 24 Year B Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE

Father of lights, from whom proceed
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #366 (1873) Scripture: Job 42:6 Lyrics: 1 Father of lights, from whom proceeds
Whate'er thy every creature needs;
Whose goodness, providently nigh,
Feeds the young ravens when they cry;
To thee I look; my heart prepare;
Suggest and hearken to my prayer.
2 Since by thy light myself I see
Naked, and poor, and void of thee,
Thine eyes must all my thoughts survey,
Preventing what my lips would say:
Thou seest my wants; for help they call
And, ere I speak, thou know'st them all.
3 Fain would I know, as known by thee,
And feel the indigence I see;
Fain would I all my vileness own,
And deep beneath the burden groan;
Abhor the pride that lurks within,
Detest and loathe myself and sin.
4 Ah, give me, Lord myself to feel;
My total misery reveal:
Ah, give me Lord, I still would say,
A heart to mourn, a heart to pray:
My business this, my only care--
My life, my every breath, be prayer. Topics: The Christian System Condemnation; Desiring Conviction
